conference in Las Vegas gave us an opportunity to take a trip, see some sites, and take in some shows. We are staying at the Luxor Hotel, which is a large, black glass pyramid.The weather is currently 87 degrees and sunny. Our flight to Nevada was exciting but uneventful. It was my first time in the air, but I was fascinated rather than nervous. The tops of the clouds were beautiful and the terrain was awesome from that height. Houses were tiny dots and rivers were just lines in the trees. Whole mountain ranges were visible and entire cities were mapped out before us. As we left Atlanta, heat lighting flashed in the clouds but the sailing was smooth. I was able to doze on and off.
Our layover in Atlanta, GA was not a layover at all, but just enough time to disembark from one airplane, walk half a mile to the other side of the airport, and board our next flight. Other than only eating airline pretzels and drinking 2 oz of Coke on the planes for supper, we enjoyed our travel. We arrived at our hotel this morning shortly after 1:00 am PST. Which was 4:00 EST! It was a late night but the extra 3 hours gave us time to recoup some rest.
We've had a relaxing day so far. We found the food court in the hotel, got some breakfast, walked around out side for a few minutes and checked out the gift shops. With the casino in the center of the hotel, salesmen in every aisle trying to push vouchers, and tourist pricing at ever place of business, it's a full time job to try to keep money in our pockets. So far, so good.
Eric is putting in a couple hours of work now, and I'm thinking of my kids. I'm glad they are doing well and having fun with Auntie and Arianna back home. Again, I'm thankful for my sister. She's been a rock in sifting sand.
Viva Las Vegas!
